Connecting the Printer to Your Computer If the self test prints correctly, you are ready to connect your printer to the computer. Use a shielded twisted-pair parallel cable to connect your computer to the printer's built-in parallel interface. Connect the parallel interface cable as described below: 1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off; then plug the cable connector securely into the printer's parallel interface connector. Squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on either side of the connector. Note: If your cable has a ground wire, connect it to the ground connector beside the interface connector. 2. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer. (If there is a ground wire at the computer end of the cable, attach it to the ground connector at the back of the computer.)
